My tree is so awful every year, naffness of tinsel really makes no difference I prefer other peoples trees without, but other people with neat trees dont have 4 year olds who take everything off 600 times before new year

I don't like tinsel, it detracts from the baubles and lights. I've only bravely omitted it in the last couple of years though. I dont mind thinner chains or strands of decorations ie beads but not big bushy bits of tinsel.

Oh Queen I didn't read all your message just about the tinsel which I hate. I'm sorry about your cat. Mine, Barnaby went missing on Thursday night and I found him dead on Saturday morning. He had been hit by a car. His brother Troy is mooching around and missing him. Even though they hung around the neighbourhood separately they still ate and slept together. Hugs to you.
